What Students Say
Likes
- The campus life- almost everything you want from clothes shoes to medicine is provided in the campus, you don't have to go out of the campus for anything at all.
- The green environment of the college and the infrastructure, library was very helpful for my course
- The amount of food options you have in college, multiple eateries with different cuisines you'll never be bored
Dislikes
- The language barrier- not saying the people aren't welcoming, you should learn basic Tamil before moving here as it will make life easier
- Not enough activities for arts students, this is an engineering college which have started giving different courses so all the activities are for engineering students only
- It's a little far from the main city but the college and it's surroundings have everything so you wouldn't feel the need to go to the city a lot
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is well made for our department. We even studied some basic aspects of journalism, advertising and aptitude. The English department can include more extra curricular activities in the curriculum.
Fees and Financial Aid
Course fees differ from department to department, the English department fees was 45000 approx. We didn't have to buy a lot of books for our course. The hostel is bit costlier like 1 lakh for non AC rooms and 2 lakhs for AC room. you can't survive without AC it's too hot in Chennai
Campus Life
There are a lot of fests in the college like Milan in March, then Aarush during oct-nov months. Both of them have multiple programs and competition. There is also an inter department competition called which is not to be missed. I saw a lot of celebrities in my time there. We have small weekly shows in srm too where anyone can perform. It's amazing the fest life is really something to look out for.
Hostel Facilities
Hostels are okish, the food is very South Indian and you might have issues adjusting with it, the quality is not good but not bad.The rooms are cleaned daily and the washrooms are cleaned too so cleanliness isn't an issue. There were no power cuts too. The wardens are very strict, there is a curfew of 7:30-8 pm and there is biometric attendance in hostel. I lived in Senbagam hostel which was non AC. There are multiple pgs and flats near the college too, in my last year I lived in estancia apartments and it was super comfortable.
Admission
I didn't take any entrance for my department, just a general interview. The admission process is a little difficult because you have to run around the campus for different things. you can fill online application and then they will call you for admission if you pass all criteria.
Faculty
The faculty are very well educated and very helpful. I can't speak for engineering but for the English department we a good faculty to student ratio. No faculty is ever so busy to not listen to your problems or solve your doubts. My time was cut short by COVID so I wanted to learn from faculties more
